Chapter 173 Asking clearly
Both people in the palace were thinking about their own things and were speechless for a while.
After a while, Lin Qingluan came to her senses first. She reached for the water glass, intending to take a sip. Who knew she turned her head and met Qiu Baolin's burning eyes.
Qiu Baolin seemed to be talking to herself, and she didn't realize that she was talking to herself. She just looked at Lin Qingluan and murmured: "...Master, imperial doctor, emperor, all positions are respected but only love She, where will she go? Of the three men, who will get her in the end?"
Lin Qingluan:?
"Of course it's our master!" Qiu Baolin said happily.
Lin Qingluan:......???
She silently poured a cup of hot tea for Qiu Baolin. Drink some strong tea to wake up.
"Hehehe..." Qiu Baolin was holding the cup and smiling like a little mouse who had stolen rice, very happy.
Lin Qingluan didn't understand what was wrong with her, but had to interrupt: "Do you need to inform your master about this?"
"Huh? What's the matter?" Qiu Baolin looked over with his big eyes blinking, and there was even a suspicious blush on his face.
Lin Qingluan:......
"Ah," Qiu Baolin seemed to have just reacted. She giggled again and said, "Tell him! Make him nervous. There are so many love rivals, so the Shura Field must be beautiful!"
Shura field? What is that? Lin Qingluan was a little helpless: "...I mean what you overheard last night."
Qiu Baolin: "Oh oh oh."
Lin Qingluan:......
Only then did Qiu Baolin seem to remember the reason why she came today. She coughed slightly and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm lost in thought. Well, if the imperial concubine can contact the master, there is no harm in informing her. Since Yu Yuyi wants to be right, The emperor is unfavorable, and the emperor has great trust in him, so it may be of miraculous use."
"...Okay." Lin Qingluan felt that Qiu Baolin was completely absent-minded, but she did not dare to ask Qiu Baolin what he was thinking. She always felt that such a thing was not something she could bear.
Watching Qiu Baolin leave wrapped in thick clothes, Lin Qingluan hesitated for a moment, returned to the bedroom, knocked on the back window, told Zhou Ping what Qiu Baolin had heard, and asked him to check whether Qiu Baolin heard it wrong. , and then report everything back to Zhou Chumu, no matter whether it was right or wrong.
"Also, there is one more thing I want to trouble you with..." Lin Qingluan thought for a long time and decided to ask, "Can you help me find out what happened to Yu Yu's leg a few years ago?"
"Okay, your master, please wait for news from your subordinates!" Zhou Ping cupped his fists and disappeared.
Lin Qingluan didn't close the window immediately, she just looked at the snowy scene outside and couldn't help but sigh.
Hope it's not what she thought.
Otherwise, she owes Yu Qingchuan a lot.
Originally, Lin Qingluan only thought that it might take two days before Zhou Ping could reply to her, but she didn't expect that Zhou Chumu would actually come that night.
She was still awake at that time, and was taking advantage of her free time to read the account books. During the day, Granny Shi and Wen Qing dealt with the trivial affairs of the harem. Lin Qingluan could not completely be the hands-off shopkeeper, but she had to know a thing or two.
Just as he was lighting a lamp and boiling oil, the window creaked and Zhou Chumu climbed in.
Lin Qingluan turned around in surprise: "Why are you here now?"
The snow has not yet melted and the weather is still very cold. Lin Qingluan never expected that Zhou Chumu would come over.
Zhou Chumu didn't say anything. He came over and looked at her with a smile: "Why are you reading the account book at this time? You may hurt your eyes."
After saying that, he didn't get close to Lin Qingluan. He only went to the brazier to warm up his body before sitting next to her.
When he came, Lin Qingluan was no longer interested in looking at the account books - in fact, she didn't want to look at them during the day, so she put it off until now. Aunt Shi and Wen Qing handled things very well, and they were both people with masters, Lin Qingluan
Qingluan was very relieved about them.
The two of them hugged each other affectionately, and first asked each other whether they were healthy. As usual, Lin Qingluan chirped and asked, while Zhou Chumu answered while holding Lin Qingluan's wrist to check her pulse to see how she was doing.
The one who answers with his mouth naturally speaks with confidence; the one who is unguarded and unable to put up any defense is basically completely open and honest so that people can see clearly.
After tasting his pulse, Zhou Chumu's heart moved slightly.
Lin Qingluan's body seemed to have recovered somewhat.
At this time, she just has some difficulty in conceiving, but it is not completely impossible to become pregnant. If she continues to nurse for a few months, she will be able to give birth to their children when the flowers bloom in the spring next year.
Then he has to speed up a bit...
"That's right! You came just in time. I have something to ask you for help!" Lin Qingluan suddenly clapped her hands, "I can only entrust you with this matter. I only believe in you."
Zhou Chumu raised his head and met Lin Qingluan's eyes.
She was still the same, looking at him unblinkingly with her clear eyes. Although she didn't know what the important matter was, Zhou Chumu still nodded seriously: "Okay."
Lin Qingluan smiled brightly, stood up and walked to the bedside, bent down and fumbled around the bedside for a moment. After a "click", a small box, about the size of a palm, was poked out from the bedside.
None of her actions avoided Zhou Chumu, because this little trap was not as important as what she wanted to bring out.
Seeing what Lin Qingluan handed to him, Zhou Chumu almost stopped breathing.
He couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that Lin Qingluan already understood his thoughts and what he was doing, so she wanted to give him such an important thing?
However, why is such an important thing not in Lin Yaochen's hands but in Lin Qingluan's place?
"Aluan, you...what are you..."
Are you going to hand over the Lin Jiajun's Tiger Talisman to me?
Zhou Chumu couldn't believe it, and didn't know whether he should ask, but he looked at the simple tiger charm in Lin Qingluan's hand, and then looked at Lin Qingluan's trusting eyes, and couldn't help but feel his heart tumbling.
He wanted to say that he didn't need it anymore.
In the past, he wanted to move but couldn't. For Zhou Zhao and the Annan Hou Mansion, he couldn't do anything. At that time, he had deceived Lin Qingluan and wanted Lin Yaochen to directly lead his troops southward from northern Xinjiang. It would be best to flatten the country all the way.
The mountains and rivers are flourishing, and if a disaster comes, no one will be able to survive.
But now he has thought clearly, has begun to deploy, and has more and more detailed plans. He does not need military power now, and it is better for her to keep these things herself.
After making up her mind, Zhou Chumu coughed lightly and was about to persuade Lin Qingluan, but she didn't want to. She said: "Brother asked me to give this to the emperor."
Zhou Chumu:......
Zhou Chumu:??
"But I don't want to just give it to him." Lin Qingluan smiled slyly, "Zhou Chumu, can you help me imitate a fake tiger charm?"
Zhou Chumu: "...Okay."
"As soon as possible, I have to get it before the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month." Lin Qingluan pursed her lips and couldn't help but sigh, "How did you get here by such a coincidence?"
She had been hesitating whether to approach Zhou Ping for this kind of thing, but if she wanted to imitate the tiger talisman, she had to hand over the real tiger talisman. Frankly speaking, she was not at ease with whoever she would hand over the tiger talisman to.
Now, only Zhou Chumu can still trust her.
